[racket-dev] TR & check-equal?

Well, given that replacing check-equal? with equal? (on the typed side)
works, then it seems to me that one solution would be to move more of
rackunit into TR, or to refactor rackunit to be more friendly to TR. (And
if someone is going to work on this, then it would also be great if the
error messages from failed test cases were made a bit more legible.)
